it costs us lives, people get hurt. but does not cost us in dollars. guest: let me give you a price comparison. it is hard to price these things. the libyan operation, the incremental cost that we invest in people and equipment was about $1 billion for libya. we were in the back position for that. you're providing intelligence, munitions -- that cost about $1 billion for libyan operation. desert storm was a $60 billion enterprise. that was 500,000 soldiers. it took over a year, and you had a huge deployment. somewhere in that range is what we're talking about. if we send 75,000 troops into syria, there are chemical weapons, my guess is $5 billion to $15 billion. it resembles to me what we did in the 1990's. those small operations for $1 billion to $5 billion per year. relatively speaking, there are a lot cheaper than the two wars that peak of 180 billion -- that was a really expensive operation, but we had 250,000 people deployed. host: we're talking about sequestration, what it might mean for the pentagon if it goes through. we're talking about $1.20
